I have a confession. I hoard hotel room amenities. There. I’ve said it.
Shampoos. Lotions. Mouthwash. Matchbook-sized sewing kits I never use.
If I’m in a hotel room more than one night, I’ll hide the cute little bottles I’m using so the staff will re-stock the bathroom counter right next to their dazzlingly artistic display of folded wash cloths.
Here’s a Travel Tip:
Most of the hotel-sized liquid items pass through airport security swimmingly, so that’s a bonus. Knowing that information helps me justify my problem. At least that’s what my therapist has offered.
The above image is a picture from my shower. No doctoring. Well, I did hide the Hello Kitty loufah sponge. I see it as an art installation called “Decadence in Miniature.” I buy shampoo from the store roughly once a year, and it’s only as a backup. I smell like roses, orange blossoms, and sandalwood. Why? Because it’s free.
